[Alien Hominid]

One hit kill? WTF?!

This really is a fun game a lot of the time (taking a lot of cues from Metal Slug, Contra, ect.), but the one thing that I hated about those games is the one thing I wish hadn't made the translation to this one. ONE HIT KILL. This is what Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation calls "console-stompingly frustraiting" and I can't help but agree.
Still, it's funny as hell slicing MIB's in half and biting their heads off.

[FPA: World 2]

This is top shelf stuff!

I can't believe how good this game is! I keep replaying the levels over and over and I can never get enough! I like how you've gone back to include more bonus stages and backdrops. Batspider FTW!!!
PLEASE tell me Fancy Pants 3 is at least a possibility? I'd love to see some of the levels and mechanics from FP World 1 carried over into the newer game engine you've made. The catch-and-release springs, the deadly pool of rising ink, the ANGRY PENGUIN! True style.

[Tails' Nightmare]

Arg, that fricken doll!

Don't get me wrong, this is a solid game you've made here, and I really like the boss music, but you didn't give Tails any recovery time when he gets hit, making that doll FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT! That's really my only gripe. I really like that charge-up flying move you invented for him (did you invent it? Was it in a game I missed?)

You heard the author!

And while you're at it, donate to Pixeljam! What's a few dollars out of your wallet to support genius in the making? This is what the internet is supposed to be about: the universal creation and exchange of ideas that, under old, established media systems, would never see the light of day. It can only work if we support each other...oh fuck, I sound like a hippie...

[Chronotron]

Inspired!

I can easily imagine at least a dozen more levels based on this concept. It does seem like with the release of Braid a lot of people are doing "weird gameplay mechanic platformers," but hell, it's just more of a good thing. I NEED to learn how to make flash games! IMMEDIATELY!!!
